Union and the United Kingdom have acknowledged the unique circumstances on the island of Ireland. They have recognised the need to safeguard the 1998 Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement, avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland and protecting North–South cooperation.</p> <p>This solution was found in the form of the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland, an integral part of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement. The Protocol:</p> <ul> <li>avoids a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, thereby enabling the smooth functioning of the all-island economy and safeguarding the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement in all its dimensions;</li> <li>ensures the integrity of the EU’s single market for goods, along with all the guarantees it offers in terms of consumer protection, public and animal health protection, and combating fraud and trafficking.</li> </ul> <p>The substantive provisions of the Protocol started to apply on 1 January 2021. Pursuant to them, in order to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland and ensure that goods from Northern Ireland can move onto the EU’s single market without restriction, a set of relevant EU rules, in particular relating to the single market for goods and the Customs Union apply to and in the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland.</p> <p>The Windsor Framework is the new way to refer to the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, in accordance with Joint Declaration No 1/2023 of the Union and the United Kingdom, made in the Withdrawal Agreement Joint Committee on 24 March 2023.</p> <p> <strong>This collection is intended for information purposes only.
